From the Paper:
"Intersectionality can best be defined as the ways that gender, race, sexuality, class, ability etc are inter related and intertwined together. Therefore a combination of two or more of the preceding characteristics combined together result in a specific social class or group. The result is the formation of a Matrix of Domination, that is 'an interlocking system of race class and gender' (Collins H. Patricia, 2000 ) and this hierarchy of intersectionality simultaneously privilege as well as creates difficulties for persons at various social levels (Collins H. Patricia, 2000 , Weber, Lynn, 2001)"Sample of Sources Used:
